The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553: News of Death

”Brother Ren Jiang! The Sky Demon Clan is so determined, using the Demon Artifact Death Hand against young friend Jing Yan, I’m afraid they might even have a more powerful Demon King take action personally,” Wuyou Venerable said with a worried expression.

”Hmm! It’s just that, since the Demon King hasn’t entered the God Burying Domain, we can’t be certain about young friend Jing Yan’s exact transport location,” Ren Jiang Venerable nodded, then shook his head.

His eyes flashed as he continued, ”The power of the Demon Artifact Death Hand is immense, but it has its drawbacks. Since young friend Jing Yan was teleported away from the Iron Wall Castle, the Death Hand surely won’t be far. If the distance is too great, the power of the Death Hand cannot be effectively exerted, so it’s very likely that young friend Jing Yan is around the periphery of the God Burying Domain.”

”We mustn’t delay, let’s immediately split up to search around the God Burying Domain,” Ren Jiang Venerable said.

”Alright,” Wuyou Venerable responded promptly.

”Shi Tai, if any other Heavenly Venerates arrive at Iron Wall Castle, inform them of our actions,” Wuyou Venerable said, looking at General Shi Tai.

”Understood!” General Shi Tai responded.

The two Heavenly Venerates vanished from the skies above the Iron Wall Castle in an instant.

”General Shi Tai, should we send people out to search?” a Divine Sovereign asked General Shi Tai.

Shi Tai shook his head and said, ”Ren Jiang Venerable said Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is around the periphery of the God Burying Domain, but the God Burying Domain is also vast. For Heavenly Venerates, searching through it might not take long. But for us God Lords to search the entire God Burying Domain is quite difficult. We can’t help much.”

Everyone nodded in agreement at what General Shi Tai said.

Just as General Shi Tai mentioned, even if they went out to find Jing Yan, it wouldn’t be of much use. By the time they found Jing Yan, everything would’ve been too late.

...

”Damn it! This Demon King’s power is too strong, I can’t withstand it!” Jing Yan’s body rolled through the chaos, blood flowing incessantly from his mouth and nose.

His entire body felt as though it were about to be torn to shreds.

”To think you could block one of my strikes! Human Jing Yan, you’re indeed extraordinary. Among human Divine Emperors and God Lords, you’re the first to withstand a strike from me!” the Demon King said.

As he spoke, his body quickly moved closer to Jing Yan, the huge long staff in his hand once again smashing down towards Jing Yan.

At this moment, Jing Yan was already at his end. The Ultimate Nihility was restrained by the Death Hand, rendering it ineffective. Although the Gravity Domain had some impact on the Demon King, it couldn’t translate into a significant advantage. Jing Yan even used the Secret Method Divine Soul Storm, but this Demon King was too terrifying, and the Soul Storm had little effect on him.

Seeing the huge long staff about to smash down, Jing Yan could only muster all his strength to wield the Chaos Sword in defense.

”Is today really the end? Am I going to die here?” Jing Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the shadow of the staff ahead.

”Human Jing Yan, die!” The Demon King gazed coldly at Jing Yan.

The huge long staff in his hand was about to smash this human named Jing Yan into powder.

”Wow!”

Just then, in one direction, that stretch of chaotic space suddenly and unpredictably split open.

From that ruptured chaotic space, an ancient and weathered aura spread out.

The Demon King also turned his gaze towards this large fissure that had appeared, his eyes filled with doubt.

As the Demon King hesitated slightly, from within the fissure, a brilliant red light burst forth. This red light, unimpeded, enveloped Jing Yan, who was about to be struck by the long staff. As Jing Yan touched this red light, it was as if his Divine Soul Body was shrouded in a thick layer of gauze, and he instantly lost consciousness, falling into a comatose state.

The red light appeared very suddenly and disappeared just as silently. After this red light vanished, the rift in the chaotic space gradually dissipated. In the blink of an eye, it was entirely gone, leaving no trace behind.

The Demon King glanced at the location where the chaotic space fissure had appeared and then at Jing Yan’s previous position.

”How is this possible?”

”Absolutely impossible! How could chaotic space suddenly tear open? The power of the Death Hand is still affecting this area. Even the strongest of the human Heavenly Venerates couldn’t have entered this space silently, let alone torn apart this chaotic space!”

”What exactly is going on?” The Demon King carefully searched the surroundings, as if trying to find the vanished Jing Yan.

However, after a thorough search, he found nothing.

”Damn it!” The Demon King swung his long staff, letting out an angry roar.

Previously, he hadn’t anticipated this situation occurring. Chaotic space suddenly tore open, followed by the appearance of a red energy, and then the disappearance of the human Jing Yan. Most crucially, he didn’t know how Jing Yan disappeared. And as for the chaotic space fissure, he also didn’t know how it came to be.

Moreover, he couldn’t ascertain whether the human Jing Yan was dead or still alive. However, he knew that if Jing Yan were dead, it wasn’t by his hand.

”Ku Jixie!”

Just as the Demon King was fruitlessly searching for Jing Yan’s whereabouts, a voice filled with bitter anger resonated.

Soon after, Ren Jiang Venerable’s figure appeared. After leaving the Iron Wall Castle, Ren Jiang Venerable searched around the God Burying Domain with utmost speed. Finally, here, he discovered the Sky Demon Clan’s Demon King Ku Jixie.

And in Ku Jixie’s space was the Demon Artifact Death Hand.

Hearing Ren Jiang Venerable’s angry shout, the Demon King Ku Jixie turned his gaze, coldly eyeing the approaching Ren Jiang Venerable.

”Ku Jixie, where is Jing Yan!” Ren Jiang Venerable’s Divine Thought scanned this part of the chaotic space, but found no trace of Jing Yan. Yet, he knew that Jing Yan must have been transported here, to the side of the Demon King Ku Jixie.

And now that Jing Yan was not to be seen, there was only one explanation: Jing Yan had already been annihilated, leaving no remains.

”Hmph! Ren Jiang Venerable, you’re too late!” Ku Jixie sneered at Ren Jiang Venerable.

”Ku Jixie, you’re truly despicable, using the Demon Artifact Death Hand to assassinate a human God Lord!” Ren Jiang Venerable was overcome with killing intent, shouting in fury.

”So what? I killed that human Jing Yan, and you, Ren Jiang Venerable, what can you do about it?” Ku Jixie had no intention of explaining the abnormal occurrence of the chaotic space to Ren Jiang Venerable.

”Damn you! Ku Jixie, take my sword!” Ren Jiang Venerable wielded a blue longsword, his body enlarging in response. At the same time, he launched a sword attack towards Ku Jixie.

”Ha ha! Ren Jiang Venerable, I’m not interested in dueling you now! If I wish to leave, you can’t stop me!” Ku Jixie didn’t want to get entangled with Ren Jiang Venerable, so after parrying with the Death Hand against the blue sword light, he took a step and swiftly fled.

”Ku Jixie, you coward!” Ren Jiang Venerable roared.

He didn’t pursue the Demon King Ku Jixie because he was well aware that if Ku Jixie wanted to leave, he couldn’t stop him alone.
